Well if he's going to be down for a few days, might as well tire him out a bit first. -
Ha! If you ask a lot of Cubs fans, Hendricks is prime Greg Maddux
-
So are we actually getting a solid enough sample size to determine that Colin Rea is actually decent? He put up solid back-of-the-rotation type numbers last year, and is following that up with a very solid start to the year this year. In what's been a season of turmoil rotation-wise, he's been a rock so far.
-
If they have proved anything so far this year, it's that there is no "closer".

Miley to IL ……Myers recalled
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to markedman5's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
IMO he's shunned because in addition to his skeletons, he's also a known prick/locker room cancer. Teams put up with that when he was a annual Cy Young contender. But when the ends no longer justify the means ... -
Disappointing un-Ace-like performance today from Peralta. Pretty disappointing. I get that he isn't going to be lights-out every outing, but today is still disappointing.
-
Other than Yelich, the power hasn't exactly been consistent from anyone.
-
Shoulda won twice today!
-
There are games that even good offenses don't show up. Always nice to steal a W when that happens.
-
Who tries to close this one out?
-
Not if you appreciate good pitching I suppose.
-
I think the point is, considering the rotation depth we lost this past offseason, acquiring at least one more mid-rotation type starter would have been produent. It isn't like there weren't plenty of those types available, even into the end of Spring Training.

2024 Divisional Rivals Thread
Ron Robinsons Beard replied to Playing Catch's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Fine with me. Let them sneak up on baseball this year. But IMO, there is no way that the Brewers should be ranked lower than the Cubs and especially the Cardinals after the trainwreck of a 2023 season they had. And the Reds are very debatable. -
There are a few relievers still hanging out on the FA market. Brad Hand or Mark Melancon as reclamation projects. Old friend Brad Boxberger. Trevor Rosenthal (I know, I know). Alex Reyes ...
-
Not if you feel fine. Why would he have done anything different if he felt fine? The articles I've read all indicate that his back pain didn't return until he ramped up in Spring Training.
-
Or everybody's body is complex, and the capacity for healing is different. Are you trying to say that Williams should have known the discomfort would return when he literally felt fine? Or that the Brewers should have somehow known that his back would start hurting again once he ramped up in February, when again, he literally felt fine in the offseason?
-
He had back discomfort in the playoffs, but it didn't sideline him. Season ended, and the discomfort went away and he felt fine. He ramped up last month in Arizona, and the discomfort came back. Why would he get a second opinion in December if his back felt fine? Every player has aches and pains at the end of a long season. I guarantee that's what he thought, and what the team thought. I'm not sure what you are griping about here, but your blame and anger is kind of oddly misplaced. It's a crappy situation. But you make it seem like the team should have done something to avoid it. What could they have done? The treatment for stress fractures in the back is rest and physical therapy. The fact that Williams isn't healed after the offseason is concerning. But that isn't the team's fault.
-
Where have you seen that the Brewers were surprised by this? I must have missed that. He pitched through discomfort late last season as the Brewers made a playoff push and ultimately won the National League Central division before being eliminated in the wild-card round. With rest in the offseason, the pain subsided but it began to flare back up as Williams ramped up this spring. - JSOnline
-
How do you get that this is on Brewers' management? It was likely lingering back pain that he was hoping would go away. He probably felt fine over the offseason when he was just doing a throwing program. It cropped up when he started ramping things up once he got to Spring Training. People live with stress fractures all the time. They are not debilitating injuries ... unless your job is to throw a baseball 98 mph. I get that this sucks, and we are all looking for someone to blame. Sometimes crap just happens though.
-
We all know you are correct. But if you can't at least try to find a silver lining now, two weeks before the real games even begin, this season is gonna be rough.
-
And even the specialist wasn't 100% sure what he was looking at, so he required Williams to come out to California to have additional imaging done. For all the advancement we've seen in medicine over the last few decades, the human body remains a very complex structure, and diagnosing can still sometimes mean a lot of trial and error.
-
I don't blame the Packers for their valuation of Jones, and I don't blame Jones for choosing to move on. It's a cutthroat business. The RB position is a young man's job, and RBs pushing 30 traditionally decline quickly. The PR end of it sucks. But the sting typically subsides pretty quick.
-
Which means that Justin Jefferson will be demanding a trade at this time next year. The Vikings will get a 1st for him, which they will then use to draft another WR. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
-
Jones is gonna get swallowed behind that terrible O-line. If there is one thing that the Packers do much, much better than the Vikings and Bears, it's draft and develop quality O-linemen. But those shiny Vikings WRs they seem to draft high every year sure are pretty ... ;)
-
Bennett was actually older and not nearly the athlete Cook was. He was thought to be more durable, though. Jacobs is 3 1/2 years younger than Jones (which is an eternity in RB years), and has been more durable. He's also every bit the athlete Jones is, with perhaps a little more power, sacrificing a bit of wiggle.
